Cost: 135.00
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of our popular Murder Mystery series, we’re reprising our very first program, An Auction for Murder.
The setting is Chaddsford Winery, location of the ‘infamous’ General Washington wine auction of January 1925. This rare auction features a special lot of wines purported to have belonged to Gen. George Washington during his defensive campaign in Southeastern PA during the Revolutionary War.
The wine was discovered under the Winery's old farmhand cottage, where General Washington had dinner in September 1777, just days before the Battle of the Brandywine. Since their discovery by the winemaker six months ago, controversy has surrounded the six bottles of unmarked wine. Who is the rightful owner? Are the wines authentic or fake? Who will buy them and at what price?
With stakes this high, it's no surprise that someone ends up dead. And there’s nowhere else to look than the person beside you. Join the crew to help us locate these mysterious wine bottles and, hopefully, the killer.
Along with an evening of tension, drama, and surprises, you’ll enjoy a full, five-course dinner and delicious PA wine! Dinner will be presented as a roving dining experience spread out at stations throughout the building, and each course will be carefully paired with Chaddsford wine.
